Safety and hygiene requirements in applications such as package printing for the food industry are particularly high. Full traceability of the ink batches is therefore absolutely essential here. However, manual ink batch management by employees is both time- and labour-consuming.

The automated ink batch management solution from technotrans saves both time and costs for users. Volumetric flow meters that are integrated in the pipe upstream of the printing press measure the ink flow per ink type. The ink batch assignment and traceability are ensured by linking the data to the current printing job. When a printing job changes, a new job number will be entered into the system.

A special feature of the solution made by technotrans is the registration of the batch numbers of ink cans via which special inks are manually filled into the ink ducts of the printing press.
